Bad Attitude

(ARISTA 1984)

Much like Alice Cooper, Meat has always been one to follow the prevailing trends in rock music when concocting his latest album. Created during the relentless glam-metal wave of the mid-80s, this is Meat’s hardest-rocking record, a veritable orgy of shredding and whooping. Buoyed by the storming single Modern Girls (which went nowhere, but everybody was pretty busy with Billy Idol and Van Halen at the time), Bad Attitude featured guitars by Bruce Kulick (Kiss) and a duet with Roger Daltrey on the title track. This was Meat’s attempt to keep up with the kids. And for the most part he did.
